Time and time again, characters attempting to survive in this chaotic galaxy far, far away have found themselves feeling a little worried about a situation.

However, you can be forgiven for thinking that the iconic "I have a bad feeling about this", or another variation of the phrase, didn't actually pop up during The Last Jedi as not a single human or alien creature uttered the statement on-screen.

But this Star Wars tradition did actually live on!

Instead of giving that line to one of the main Resistance figures or a Force-sensitive being in the film, Rian Johnson decided to hand this running gag to none other than little BB-8 in the film's opening scene.

Those worried bleeps the astromech lets out before Poe Dameron adds a "happy beeps here, buddy, come on" was actually a binary version of the often mimicked Star Wars line (via HuffPost).
